Further indications of CITY easiness have ' been ic ob. servable in the discount circles to-day. The favour able returns issued from the Banks of England and trance have created an impression that the time cannot be far distant when the authorities will be co mpelled to reduce their rate. The market is W ell Supplied with capital, and brokers evince a readiness to obtain business at quotations ranging f rom 7 per cent, for the best three months' bills. A belief is current, that were it not for the recent failures that have occurred, and the liklihood of Others taking place, the Directors of the Bank of ''gland would have lowered theft official minimum soother 1 per neut. About £5,000 in gold was taken into the Bank Y e sterday. The bar silver by the last packet has been sold at 6 3 id per ounce standard.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This day.) COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON. The Queen's Advocate resumed his address to the jury on behalf of the respondent. He said—The four charges against Colonel Anderson were of such a gross and impro bable kind that many of them were quite sufficient, in his opinion, to refute themselves; yet it would be necessary to refute it by evidence which he thought would be sufficient to dispel the calumnies heaped upon Mrs Codrington with such hatred and malignity. The jury, he thought, would never dream of convicting the respondent upon such evi dence as that of Duck and Roe, because he felt certain that persons nurtured with the slightest tincture of good breeding would entirely disbelieve such remarkable proceedings as they spoke to. It was impossible to call before the jury the remora who could do it in the most direct manner; yet he was happy to inform them that ho should be able to call before them a gentleman, Lieutenant Galway, who would prove by the most incontrovertible evidence that the evi dence of Policeman Duck was altogether a vile fabrication. There were, in addition to the charges against Colonel Anderson, three charges against Lieut. Mildmay, and here again this indefatigable 'witness Duck was again the chief witness. It was in evidence and beyond a doubt, that the greatest enmity existed in the mind of Duck against his mistress, because she had reported him to the Admiral on two occasions—once, because he refused, at her request, to take off his hat whilst the host was passing, after which he never for three months was allowed to do the slightest thing for Mrs Codrington. The other circumstance was that she again reported Duck to the Admiral fur his farui- liarities with a Maltese girl (Teresa), and the Admiral was so incensed against Duck that he threatened to have him sent on board the Hibernia and flogged. Although at this time it was evident that he had the utmost hatred and detestation for his mistress, having, according to his own evidence, the honour of Mrs Codrington in his hands, ho quietly allows all this to take place and never says a word about the alleged familiarities with Colonel Anderson and Lieutenant Mildmay. "Why, he believed the jury would at once disbelieve the assertions of such a man—a man who now comes forward and never seems satisfied without he could charge Mrs Codrington with adultery in the open street, in a boat, or on a landing place• It might be in such places that Duck would gratify his sensual propensities, but to imagine any person with the slightest degree of education and propriety would be guilty of such a proceeding was too much for human nature to believe. There was also a charge made by a person named Mrs Nicholas, viz , that Mrs Codrington committed adultery with Lieut. Mildmay at the Hospice at St. Bernard ; and what did the accusation amount to when it becomes to be sifted to the bottom? Mrs Nicholas says on one occasion Mrs Codrington was absent from her bedroom some ten or twenty minutes, therefore she must have gone to the apartments of Lieut. Mildmay. Ho could, he was glad to inform the jury, dispose of this charge in the most s tis factory way, because ho should call before thorn the very lady to whoso room Mrs Codrington went on that occasion referred to. That lady was a Miss Day, now Mrs Robinson. She would state that Mrs Codrington came to her on that evening and remained tor about a quarter of an hour gossipping vei.h her, and then returned to her room; and yet Mrs Nicholas, in her evidence, says that Miss Day was not of the party. He felt satisfied the jury knew how to deal with such reckless evidence. Tho ac quaintance of the Watsons with the Codringtons nom menced in July, 1861, and, in a very short time after, Mrs Watson states that she became acquainted with the whole of the secrets of the Admiral's married life. What could have led to such a sudden and peculiar mark of confidence on the part of the Admiral he was at a loss to discover. This evidence of the witness against her former friend was of the most bitter description, and her account of the "confessions," as she called them, was most extra ordinary. He need not remind the jury of this lady's demeanour in the witness-box. Whenever questions bearing a favourable construction for Mrs Codrington were put to her she became exhausted and overcome. She wrought her evidence up to a sensation point, and then she quietly asked whether she need go further. How different her bearing when she was re-examined by his learned friend Mr Bovill; then the was full of venom and vigour, and answered his questions without the slightest hesitation. As sensible men, would they be satisfied with such evidence ? It was marked throughout with the vilest cant and disgust ing hypocrisy such that in all his experience he had never witnessed before in any court of justice. But the climax of evil was not arrived at when this estimable lady stated that Mrs Codrington told her that she had committed adultery with Lieut. Mildmay in the open street. What was the conduct of this estimable person after such a com munication. Did she Peak off all connection with the person guilty of such an outrageous proceeding• Did she more than keep up the cold oonventualities which society required. No I Why this person—this abandoned woman —who had, as it was alleged, committed so great a ,crime —this woman was the first person that Mrs Watson wrote to after the death of her mother, asking for comfort and consolation—writing to her in the warmest ,terms, and concluding her letter as her affectionate friend. Tho learned gentleman then proceeded to refer to the other allegations in the petition—viz., the charges of adultery alleged to have been constituted in London on the 10th and 21st of July, 1863, and the 2d and 11th of July of the same year. He said the conduct of Admiral Codrington and Col. Anderson showed that he was too honourable a man to believe him guilty of the charges imputed against him, but that he (Admiral Codrington) was instigated to bring forward this proceeding by the unceasing enmity of Mrs Watson. The learned advocate was proceeding with his observa tions when we went to press, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. :Before Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Byles and Keating.) TAYLOR V. HUMPHREYS.-THE REFRESHMENT ACT. Their lordships gave judgment in this case, which it will be recollected was an appeal from the decision of the magis trates of Birmingham, who find the appelaut 40s. for serving refreshments during the hours prohibited by the Refresh ment Act. The pnblichouse was situated at Moseley, and on a certain Ssnday the police constables fund about 20 or 30 persons drinking therein. The landlord contended they were travellerti and that had ho refused to serve them with necessary refreshments he would have been liable to action and fine. The magistrates de cided the men were not travellers within the meaning of the act, and fined the landlord, and against this decision appeal was made. Their lordships said if the persons went to the house knowing they could obtain refreshments during illegal hours, then the decision of the magistrates was right; but if they went thoro as excursionists then the landlord was called upon to use his discretion as to the refreshments he would supply. There was not sufficient evidence to prove that the people found in the public-house went there for the purpose of illegally procuring drink, and therefore the decision of the magistrates must be overruled. Judgment accordingly. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market opened very strong. Sales, probably 2,000 bales. A letter from Larissa, in Thessaly, states that a band of brigands, commanded by Ghalio, and consisting of about 48 individuals, attacked the village of Chamaco while the male population were absent. The women wean seized, and bohiug oil poured ou them to force them to de clare where their moncy and jewels of value were concealed. The ruffians made off carrying a large quantity of booty. Au explosion at a firework manufactory, followed by the barning of the building, occurred the day before yesterday at Havre. The stcek of combustibles beir,g small when the disaster took place, the consequences were not so serious as they might have been. No one was injured; the proprietor, M. Garard, was uninsured. This is the fourth time that M. Guerard has suffered from explosion. The Brest journals state that a heavy tempest prevailed three nights back the coast, accoulpauied with a heavy sea and gusts of wind of extraordinary violence, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH• STREET. A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING THE POLICE ...Albert Martin Cater, gentleman, of 36, Frederick street, Gray's Inn-road, was charged before Mr Knox with being drunk and disorderly in Tichbornesstreet, and as saulting Police constable John Fisher, 334 A. Fisher said, on the previous night, about eleven o'clock, he saw the defendant behaving in a disorderly manner in Ticbborne-street, catching hold of females who were passing. 'I•ho defendant tried to enter the London Pavilion, but seeing he was drunk, he told him he had bettor go away and come some other night. Defendant relused togo away, and again caught hold of two or three females who were coming out of the place, and mace another attempt to enter. He prevented him doing so, when he struck him twice on the head. He then, with the assistance of three other constables, took defendant to the s'ation. Dennison, 116 C, preyed assisting Fisher in taking de fendant to the station. The defendant said he had been out with a few friends, and got the worse for liquor, Mr Knox said i.; could not be permitted that the police should be knocked about while properly performing their duty. The defendant was then fined 20s or seven days. WESTMINSTER. AN INCORRIGIBLE JUVENILE DELINQUENT.--John Lloyd, a boy between 13 and 14 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a penny. Mrs Susan Griffiths, of 40, Ebury-street, Pimlico, who keeps a dairy, said Ulu last evening she was sitting in her parlour when she heard the till in her shop open, and on going there found the prisoner taking his hand from the till with a penny in it. He had crawled round the counter on his hands and knees to get to the till, and when disco vered endeavoured to get out of the shop, but was prevented. The police were sent for, but as they were a long time com ing, the prisoner showed fight, and while prosecutrix was overcoming her confusion at the circumstance, he bolted out, but was followed and secured. Mr Arnold—ls he known ? Police—He has been twica before convicted of felony, there was a similar robbery to this committed tho night before in this street, of which he is suspected. Prisoner—He's accusing me falsely. It was my own penny I had in my hand, and she said it was hers, and it is a shame. Prisoner's father, a respectable-looking, hard-working man, said, he had tried..all he could, but his son was incor rigible. He thought the only chance for him was to get him to sea. Prisoner—My sight is ehort, and they won't take me. I have tried. Mr Arnold (to the father)—Can you get a ship for him P The father--I am sure I don't know; I will try. Prisoner—They won't have me because of my sight. Mr Arnold—ls there anything the matter with his sight? The father—Not in the least, he can see as well as any one here. Mr Arncld—l will remand him for a few days, to give you an opportunity of seeing whether you can get him a ship. It would be much better that he should go to sea than to prison. THAMES. TAKE CARE OF YOUR LlNEN. — Tho.nas Whip, a boyish looking follow, said to be 21 years old, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with a linen robbery. John Mackey, 414 K, met the prisoner last night in the Mile-end-road carrying a bundle which contained wet linen, and asked him where ho was going, to which he replied that ho had a few things of his own, and was about to get them washed. Mackey said that tale did not satisfy him, and took him to the station-house. Tho prisoner was searched, and four shirts, quite clean, in addition to his own dirty one, were found on his back. Mr Partridge—He was wearing five shirts? Witness—He was, sir. There were three ladies' petti coats, a chemise, two pairs of ladies' drawers, a diaper towel, and a cotton handkerchief in the bundle I took from him. The linen has been taken from the yard or g arden of some family residence. The prisoner—lt's true, your worship; it's true all the policeman says. Mr Partridge—What account have you to give of your self ? The prisoner—l told a lie last night. I followed a man nto a room and stole the things. Mr Partridge—Where is the house? The pri,oner—You go straight down the Bow -road, pass the railway bridge, then turn to the right, then to the left again, and you are sure to find the house all the things were taken from. Mackey—l have no doubt I shall find an owner for the property. Mr Partridge—Very well then, I will remand the pri soner for a week. SAVAGE ASSAULT.— Martin Smith, waiter at a beer shop in St. George-in-the-East, was called upon to surrender and answer a charge of assaulting a wcman named Sarah Cromarty, who is in the London Hospital. The accused. who had been liberated on bail, did not ap pear, and Mr Bowdles, the second clerk, said the party was charged with a serious outrage. A poor woman went into a beer shop to inquire aftor her husband, who was carous ing there, and Smith seized her, used her with great bru tality, and flung her out of the house. Her thigh was broken. Mr Walter Coleman, house surgeon of the London Hos pital, said the woman could not leave her bed. It was a very serious case. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, who was engaged in the oase t said the persona who became bail for the prisoner wore in attendance. Mr Partridge—The recognizancesAnust be estreated. Mr Charles Young said the bail had done all in their power to find the prisoner. Mr Partridge said the sureties could arrest the prisoner wherever and whenever they could find him. Mr Charles Young—Will you remand him for a week Mr Partridge—l cannot do so. There is no prisoner be fore me to remand. • Mr Charles Young-k , Will you bo so kind, sir, as to ro ieve the bail for a week, and give them time to look after ,he fugitive. Mr Partridge said if persons became bail fora prisoner in a police-court, and the Party did not appear, they must expect to pay the money nam e d in the bail b on d or go to pr i son. He would estreat th e recognisances to-day, b ut a ll ow t h e searchers one week to find Martin Smith. If he was not then forthcoming the recognisances woull be estreated. Mr Bowdler—Then I will mark the case discharged. Mr Partridge—No, He does not appear t o answer the ser i ous charge aga i nst him. no , I d o no t di s charge the prisoner. Mr Bowdhr—Very w e ll , book, "No appearance—the accused to be arreeted where ever he can be found." air: then I will enter on my AI AR I ETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

A passenger gives the following account of the capture : On the 29th September the United States mail steamship, Roanoke, Francis A. Drew, Master, left the port of Haven nah, bound for New York, passing the Moro Castle at five p.m., with 24 passengers, end 16 in the steerage, the officers and crew numbering 50, reeking 90 persons on board. The steamer proceeded on her voyage at a speed of some 12 knots per hour, running within sight of and a short distance from the coast during some two or three hours, the time passing agreeably and without anything unusual having occurred until about 9 20 p.m., when, about 25 miles off the Coast of Cuba, the passengers were not a little sur prised at hearing proclaimed, by a man dressed in the Con' federate naval uniform, who proved to be no less a per sonage than the capturer of the Chesapeake—viz., Lieut. John C. Brain, and who in a loud voice said, " 11l the name of the Confederate States of America I demand the surren der of this vessel as a lawful priz^," and calling upon Capt. Drew to surrender as a prioner of war. This announcement was immediately followed by the discharge of several pistols, with which the attacking party were armed. From that moment the work of the capture commenced. Lieut. Brain, taking the upper neck of the vessel, accompanied by officer Little, the purser, and a seaman, secured the captain and officers on that deck, placing them in irons, while officer Parr, the first and second engineers, and three seamen pro ceeded with the officers and crew on the main deck, until Lieut. Brain and officer Little, leaving the upper eck in charge of the purser and a seaman, went below to the assist ance of officer Parr, when at 15 minutes past 10 o'clock, in the space of 55 minutes, the capture bad been consummated, and the vessel was proceeding on her voyage as the Confe derate States Prize Steamship Roanoke. There was but little violent resistance made, except by the carpenter of the vessel, who, after surrendering, seized an axe and aimed a blow at the head of officer Parry,but the axe falling short of its mark four balls pierced the body of the man, from the effect of which he fell and expired in a few minutes. In a short time after the capture Captain Drew was re leased upon his parole. Having been favoured with a perusal of the register of the Roanoke, 1 learn from it that she was built in New York by the New York and Virginia Navigation Company,lwho were her sole owners; her dimensions being in length 218 ft ; breadth, 32ft ; depth, 10ft Gin, and measuring 1,071 tons. Also, from a certificate attached to her register, it ap • pears that the vessel was seized at the port of New Yolk under the Confiscation Act of the United States, and re leased on bond. Lieutenant Brain exhibited to me his orders and commis sion from the Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate States to make the capture of the Roanoke. Whether the fact of her having been owned by the Navigation Company afore said, some of the members being citizens of the Confederate States, and on whose account she was seized, as above stated, thus dispossessing said citizens of their property, caused the Government to order her capture, I am not advised. It would not, however, require any extraordinary stretch of imagination to enable one to arrive at that conclusion. The following are the names and residences of the cfficers and crew who made the capture of the Roanoke :—John C. Brain, acting master, Holly Springs, Missouri—H. Parr, master's mate, Nashville, Tennessee—Thomas R. Little, master's mate, Mobile, Alabama—Alex. Lathrop, purser, Kentucky—Robert Truth, first engineer, New Orleans— James Conlen, second engineer, Galveston, Texas—Robert Gage, seaman, Mobile, Alabama—Arthur Morehead, sea man, Louisiana—H, Braddock, seaman, Union Town, Ken tucky—J. D. Van Amburg, seaman, Staunton, Virgiaia. Lieutenant Brain informed me that on his arrival off St. George's it was his intention to provision and coal the vessel, parole and land the passengers, officers and crew, and take the vessel to Wilmington. But it having been found im possible to take the vessel into said port, the only thing he could do was to burn the Roanoke, and with his officers and crew go ashore at St. George's, which he accordingly did (after transferring. the passengers, of s, and crew to a brig five miles off the coast) at 4 o'clock on the morning of Sunday the 9th of October. Railway Passenger Signals, Yesterday some trials were made at the Waterloo Station of the South Western Railway of Mr Edmund Tattersall's plan of railway signals as between passengers and the guards. The apparatus, which is to a certain extent simple, though not inexpensive, nor likely to be kept in good work.- ing order, unless carefully looked after, was not tried upon a train in motion. It was simply affi Led to a first-class car riage for the inspection of the chairman and directors of the South Western Railway, that they and others might judge how far such a contrivance would meet the want now felt on every live, of some easy mechanism by which any occu pant of any compartment in a travelling train can at once ' attract the attention and insure the attendance of the guard. The apparatus has, however, we aro informed, been actu ally used upon trains in motion for short distances, and, as far as instantly alarming the guard is concerned, has answered admirably well. The mechanism shown yesterday was on a first-class carriage, and consisted of a simple wire chain, which passes over the heads of first-class pas sengers seated at one side of the compartment. A very vigo rous pull on this liberates a detent which holds back a small white staff about a foot long, an inch in diameter, and with a conspicuous button at the end. The staff is jerked out by a spring on both sides of the carriage simultaneouely, and the same movements which effects this does also, by the jerk on the wire, strike a hammer upon a copper bell outside the car riage with a loud resonant sound, which can be repeated as often as the wire is jerked, till the guard's assistance or attention is secured. There is no danger of the train being stopped by this alarm, as it is simply a call to the guard and not the driver. Nor is there any fear of such a facility being abused, as the white staff we have spoken of once liberated Cannot be thrust back by the occupants of the compartment who have sent it forth, so that if dons for mischief its per. petrators would be at once detected. In these important re spects therefore—first as insuring the attendance of the guard, if really wanted, and next insuring the discovery of the persons who needlessly sounded the alarm—Mr Tatter sall's invention seems to answer all the purposes required. As far as the noise of the bell is concerned its alarm isadmi table. Its sound,we are told, has been heard by the guard as far off as nine carriages distant, and this in a train that was travelling at speed. Yet looked at from either asp:cts, the invention is not so complete as one would wish it to be in these days when all are hoping for a good, cheap, and sim ple apparatus of this kind as will leave railway directors no excuse for its non-adoption. In the first place, we fear it would bo considered too costly, especially when the possibi lity of its not doing the work required with invariable cer tainty was carefully dwelt on. Thus, to say nothing of its liability to derangement from dirt and rust, it is almost cer tain that one so inclined could from the inside of the carriage so tamper with the spring so as to prevent the white staff shooting out at all, and then might pull the bell as he chose. Again, to be of any certain use the little wire chain should be on both sides of each compartment, and should be so contrived as to require a less powerful effort than that which Mr Tattersall's invention now seems to necessitate. It is said that this extreme rigidity of the apparatus is ne cessary to prevent incessant vibration between the hammers and bells as the train is moving fast, and so getting the guards sufficiently accustomed to the sound to leave little chance of the summons being attended to when it was really rung as an alarm. It is even said that to prevent such complete neutralisation of the very purpose of the in vention, the apparatus must be made yet stiffer still. If this is so, and bearing in mind the fact that it now requires a strong indeed, a very strong—effort to ring the bell at all, its value to a half stunned man or fainting girl, when it is made still more rigid, would be almost nil. As a matter of course, MrTattersall does not overlook the obvious fact that during the night his white staves would not be seen by the guard at all, so for night trains, instead of the detent libe rating a white staff, it simply drops a little shade from off a lighted lamp, like a policeman's bull's-eye, which is, as well as the bell mechanism, to be affixed to the corner of every carriage of every night train. This idea is not a bad one, but its practical application is, we fear, full of difficulties, not alone as to its mere cost, but as to its working feasibility at any cost. Mr Tattersall, however, deserves the thanks of the public for having devoted his time, without any hope of remuneration, to give such a security to the travelling pub lie as all have wished for, though until now in vain. His plan, though scarcely likely to find general favour with di rectors, will, at least, be the first step towards fulfilling an acknowledged want, and the ingenious mechanist who goes yet further and completes the rough idea may safely look to his reward. To the mass of those who have really travel led, nothing appears more simple than the plain expedient of the Americans, whic!l is also followed on some Swiss lines, of having a cord that passes along the roof of every carriage, and communicates at either end with the engine. driver orguard. In no country in the world is such a pre caution less heeded than in Ames ica, where the carriages are public thoroughfares, literally contain scores of occu pants, and where •any passenger has only to walk back wards or forwards to say what he wishes to either driver or ' guard, yet in no part of the world but in America is such care taken. It has been said over and over again that in this country such a modo of communication would be more mischievous than useful, from the man ner in whin the privilege would be abused. It is hard, however, to understand that an Englishman cannot rise up to the mild standard of an American's self control in this respect. or that simple mechanism could not be devised to prevent any chance of the signal's misuse- A plain cord, such as is used in America, passing along the roofs of the carriages, with a common index signal to fly out in the car riage when the cord was pulled, as the numbers of rooms in hotels are shown when a bell is rung, would answer every purpose. But whether of this or some other kardred invention the public has urgent need just now; and Mr Tattersall deserves the thanks of the public for having de voted attention, whether successfully or not, to this all-im portant question, President Lincoln has put a representative re. cruit into the army: J, S. Staples, of Stroudsburg, Monroe county, Pennsylvania, was the man selected to bear the Presidential musket,—American Taper, Zadkiel's Almanack for 1865. Yes—there is no getting over the fact—however • much we may pooh-pooh the pseudo-science, as Astrology has long since come to be dubbed by the great mass of our Natural Philosophers —Zadkiel Tao Sze still flourishes. Here he comes forth in his Thirty-iifth yearly edi tion—and that edition in its Fifty-fifth thou sand. Hie circulation, therefore, it would appear, has not diminished—even after the lifting brit a few months ago of the mysterious curtain, that until then had concealed his identity from the chance of public recognition. So that, in spite of his appear ance in propria persona in the witness -box of a Court of Law down at Guildhall during the well known ca s e of Morrisou v. _Belcher, the famous trial relating to the Exhibition of the Magic Crystal by the Plaintiff—in spite of Z adkiel pubic appearance, there and then, in his te ()fold eap.ci'y of Witne.sa and Plain iff, he car, acZually issue his almanac for the coming year to the number of 55,000 I The continuance of this immense Bale could hardly have followed, no doubt, the dis closure of Zadkiel in the flesh—had he, upon the occasion referred to, proved to be some vulgar trickster, with forehead " villanous low," bearing about him all those evidences popularly believed to appertain to some more cunning impostor in mysti cism, Proving to be—as Zadkiel did—however, when the eyes of the whole crowded court were turned upon him, as he stood there in the witness box—the very reverse of all this—Ztdkiel's popu larity has somehow survived the perilous revelation. There seemed to be no such disenchantment when the well-known Reader of the Stars turned out to be a manly-looking veteran Sea-Captain, bearing upon his breast more than one honourable decora tion. And so—again—this time as his thirty-fifth annual apparition—Almanac in hand comes forth Zadkiel Tao Sze, with—rrealctious l)1 the weather for the approaching Twelve month! With Voices of the Stars! With numerous useful Tables ! With a Hierog!yphic ! And an ominous hieroglyphic it looks in spite of the two cupids hand-in-hand, with a dove bearing an olive branch above them. For, as the upper group in this hieroglyphic, have'' - eve not` - the Fes intent upon a Royal thread of life—Atropos about to sever it with her shears. a * * . We observe his prophecy:of this year for the last three days has turned out exceedingly correct—viz. quoting from his own words, " 14th, 15th, and 16th Nov., fog and small rain." Fatal Accident. _ A melancholy accident, attended with suspiciow circumstances, took place on Monday night, at nine o'clock, a little to the east of Cupar, on the Edin. burgh, Perth, and Dundee branch of the North British Railway. A young woman named Janet was coming h ome Lamb, belonging to Cup ar , w h o, we understand, had been in service in Edinbu rg h , by the last train on Monday night, a n d h ad with her a female companion named APLeren, who Was to stay with her a few days. The only other person in the carriage with them was a young ma,rx, who, it is said, was the worse of drink. Oe arriving at Cupar station, Lamb and the girl M'Laren seem to have sat still, and instead of coming eut, as they intended, they went en as if going to the next sta.. tion, They had not gone far, however, when, from some cause or other net yet satisfactorily cleared up, they opeuid the door of the carriage t.nd madly rushed out while the train wee running at full speed. The girl MeLeree jumped out first almost opposite the farm of Thomaston, and was sent spinning e oivn the embankment of the railway, but happily she escaped unhurt. Lamb followed immediately after her, lighting with her face upon the iron mile post, which knocked out some of her teeth, broke her jaw, and otherwise so sev ere l y i n . jared her that death was instantaneous. M'Laren, on seeing the sad fate of her friend screamed for assistance. Her cries were heard, and Dr. Mackie was called, He pronounced life to be quite extinct, and the body was removed to the police cffice, whence it was taken last night to an aunt's house in the Kirkgate, the only relation Lamb had in the town, and is to be buried today. One ex. planation of the accident is that as the last train does not stop at Springfield, Lamb had mis.. taken Cupar station for it, and that after passing tla. I^4lo*.a. o.lao .ro.nmn;..a that it was Cupar by the lights, and resolved—she and her companion together—to jump out. The girl IVl'Laren adds that the carriage -lamp had gone out, and that the man who was their fellow - traveller, and who is stated to have been the worse for drink, was molesting them in some way —leaving-ttre-iater-eries-o-be drawn that-' they both rushed cut of the carriage to prevent him taking liberties with them. After receiving her an, count of bow the ;Hair happened, Chief Constable Brammer immediately despatched two officers in search of the man. They inquired at Leuchare, which is the next station where the train stopped ; but neither had information been lodged there of the girls having jumped out of the carriage nor had anyone been seen answering the description which the girl M'Laren gave of her and her friend's assailant. The officers, however, pursued their in vestigations during the whole night, and about six o'clock next morning discovered their man wander< ing on the streets of St. Andrews. They charged him with the assault and brought him in to Caper, where after being examined before the Sheriff, he was committed to prison for further inquiry. From statements since made by the girl M'Laren on Tuesday night, there can be only one opinion, that if the man laid hold of the girls at all, it was only with the good intention of preventing them from rushing into almost certain death.—Scotsman. Business don( Death of Lord Manners. We have to announce the death of Lord Manners which occurred at Hastings on Monday. His lord ship had long been in a precarious state of health, his disease being consumption. John Henry Man. ners.Sutton, second Baron of Foston, Lincolnshire, was eldest son of a distinguished father, the Right Hon. Thomas Manners-Sutton, who became Solici tor-General in 1805, and shortly afterwards one of the Barons of the Exchequer, and in 1807 was ap pointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Manners. His mother was a daughter of. Mr James Butler, of Fethard, a near relative of the Earl of Glengall. He was born in Stephen's green, Dubin, on the 17th of August, 1818, succeeded his father on the 31st of May, 1842, and married on the 281 of September, 1848, Lydia Sophia, third dauguter of Captain William Bateman Dashwood,R.N., by whom he leaves issue a youthful family—three sons and two daughters. His successor in the title is the Hon. John Thomaa Manners-Sutton, born on the 15th of May, 1852, Lord Manners was a Deputy-Lieutenant of Suffolk, and captain in the West Suffolk Ntilitie. The first peer was fifth son of Lord George Manners-Sutton, scn of the third Duke of Rutland (who inherited in 1762 the estates and assumed the name of his mater nal grandfather, Robert Sutton, Baron Lexington); his elder brother was Charles, Archbishop of Can terbury, and .his nephew was the Primate's son, Charles Alanners Sutton, G.C.8., Speaker of the House of Commons 1817— 34, who was raised to the peerage as Viscount Canterbury. SEAMEN MISSTNG, Information has reached Hartlepool of the loss of the Constellation, of that port, on the sth insf. The master reports that she struck upon a rock off the Niddegen Lights, in the Cattegat, and eunk an hour afterwards. The crew, ten in number, divided, five men getting into each boat. The poor fellows had no oars, and they had to use their jackets for sails. The jolly boat, in charge of the master, after drifting about two days, cast up on Jutland, but an hour after they landed one of her crew, Alfred English, died. There has been no word of the other boat's crew, and there is every reason to believe they have perished. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A STATION-MASTER.— Mr Steele, station-master, Pickle Bridge, near Halifax, was stabbed in a dreadful manner by Noah Wood, a shoe maker, of Norwood Green, near Halifax. on Monday after-. noon. Steele was at one time a porter at the Victoria Station, Manchester, and between him and Wood there would have appeared to have been an old grievance. Wood wee brought up before the Hai/far-West Riding tieffeb; but in consequence of the serious illness of Steele the prisoner was remanded till Saturday.—Shegield Telegraph. DETERMINED SUICIDE.--This morning about 6 o'clock, Sergeant Glass, 3 C, was called to No. 24, Peter-street, St. James's, when he found that a woman, named Margaret Huckerefield had cut her throat in a most frightful manner with a large table-knife. No time was lost in conveying the poor woman in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, but on being attended by one of the surgeons, life was found to be extinct. The deceased, who had only lodged at the house a few days, is said to have been of re spectable appearance, and she had informed some of the persons residing in the house that she had only lately left service, and that she had a son residing near London. No cause can be assigned for the act, but it is believed to have been committed through distress. A KING CHARGED WITH SWINDLING.—The French attorney, Tounena, who " by the grace of God and the will of the people" has become Sing of Arau cania and Patagonia. appeared on Saturday in the Correia• Lionel Police-court at Paris, on a charge of swindling, which was set forth in the following terms by the presiding judge: —" In December last you alighted at one of the best hotels in Paris. You engaged an apartment at 15ef a month. You intimated your intention of boarding at the hotel, which is easily understood, for you could not well board elsewhere. You were without resources, but you had, we are told, an excellent appetite. Your tastes were of a very refined na ture. You required the most sumptuous fare, and when the dishes were not sufficiently delicate you rejected them. When persons are in such great penury as you were they should be much more modest, even though they may have been Kings of Araucania and Patagonia. You L ved in this way (nring Lur months. Now, for a man who pellrips had worn a crown, but who had not a farthing in his pocket, this was not over-delicate conduct. One day you dikappeared from your hotel—you went, I don't know where, to your family, to solicit aid. You re turned to your hotel, and then you spoke of resources which would enable you to pay your debt—resources to be de rived from an enterprise you were about to engage in—fac• tories in Araucania and Patagonia. You opened of f ices in Paris in a little corner of the Rue Vivienne. You printed statutes of a company, with 1.0 millions of francs capital. Your attempt did not succeed—you did. not get a sous. You were asked how you meant to pay your hotel expenses, and you said you should do so when you formed your com pany.. How, without having a single subscriber, could yon pay P Did you mean to pay your personal expenses with the money of your shareholders ? In fact, you have not been able to pay. What answer can you make F" A long examination followed, in which the accused tried to defend himself as beet he could. He had hopes of forming his com pany—he had hopes of getting back his crown—he had no intention of swindling anybody—he had given the landlady of the hotel an acknowledgment of hie debt, which he meant and which ho tried to pay—but all his exertions to raise money failed. Witnesses were called, who deposed that ho had been tor some time King of Araucania, and that he had been taken prisoner by the Chilians and sentenced to be shot, and that he was saved by the French authorities, Moreover, it was proved by a letter from the Procureur at Perigueux, that during the time he practised there as a lawyer he had borne an excellent character for probity. The Procureur moreover added that he dii not believe him capable of swindling anybody, but that his pretended royalty of Araucania had completely upset his ideas and made him indulge the most proposterous projects, and that he was affected with a monomania which had completely absorbed his intellect. The judgment of the court was to this effect : —" Whereas, by assuming the titla of Prince and King of Araucania, the accused may have acted under the influence of chimerical thoughts and facts, but which, perhaps, to him seemed true, that, consequently, the character of swindling not appearing in the case, it decided that there was good reason to pronounce his acquittal."—He was ac. cordingly set at liberty. The Ceurrier du Pas de Calais states:that as soo❑ 8b it became known at Calais that M. Berryer was to arrive on Friday by the steamer from England, the barristers of that town and many of the principal inhabitants determined to pay their respects to him. A great number accordingly assembled on the quay, and greeted him with loud cheers on landing. M. Berryer expressed himself highly gratifieil with this manifeatation, and before leaving the station he received all the members of the Calais bar, and thank:d them for the honour they had done him.

She had been denouncing that filthy and abominable practice of smoking, and boasted that she had just got the parent of a large family dismissed from his employment because she had caught him indulging in a furtive pipe. I asked her if she had ever herself committed the act of eating turbot with lobster sauce. The imputation was not denied, since the empty platter which had contained that attractive but per nicious mixture was just giving place to another laden with well-seasoned haunch; nor, to do her justice, did she'seem desirous to evade any coaclusions that might be drawn from such an act; when I amazed her by saying that, ac cording to my experience, she might indulge herself with a cigar or a pipe of latakia with much less prejudice to the digestive functions.—Blackwood's Magazine for November. LARGE WHALES ON THE FRENCH COAST.—The steamer 'Ville de Malaga, on its passage from Brest to Havre a few days back, sighted off Barfleur, at about three miles from the French coast, two enormous whales, One wax of such imtuense size that it might have been taken for a small island. RIOTS AT DORCHESTER.--The town of Dorches ter has been in a very disturbed state since the s:h of November, when the mob attacked the police, and com pelled them to barricade themselves within the Town Hall. On the night of IN ednesday «cek and on Tuesday night a crowd paraded the streets, bearing effigies of the police, making use of violent language, and even throwing stones at the officers. The borough magistrates have at length resolved on putting down this state of things, and it is in tended to swear in a sufficient number of special constables for the presezvation of order in the town. EX-COUNCILLOR MACNISII AGAIN IN TROUBLE. —On Monday a letter was received from the police in London by the authorities in Glasgow, re qu i r i ng t h em, if possible, to apprehend Neil Macnish, at one time a Town Councillor of the City of Edinburgh, on a charge of fraud or embezzlement. Steps were at once takon'to secure rho alleged criminal, the result of which waa that the detectives were successful in securing him the same evening in a house in town, from which h e was conveye d to t h e Central Police-office. Of course n o thi ng cou ld b e d one until more definite information w as received; and consequently h e l ay all Tuesday in a cell in South Albion - street. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, Sergeant linggett, of the London detective force, arrived in Glasgow with a war rant, in accordance with the terms of which Macnish will now be formally handed over to the custody of the metro politan officer. The warrant sets forth that the accused has been guilty of embezzling three different sums—the largest of which is beta een £2O and £3O, belonging to his employer, Gustave Gich, merchant, London. Though the above sum is the largest of the three mentioned in the warrant, it does dot follow that they are the only charges which will be made against the accused.—Aro; .131 lisle Mad.
